CHANGING TO AUTOMATIC SENSITIVITY MODE

The camera is set in AUTO mode at the factory, so there is no need to change anything to use this mode when you first begin. This is the best setting for most picture taking. The status is confirmed on the LCD monitor display. You can set this function during shooting with the viewfinder.

Turn the DIAL SWITCH to PHOTO MODE and then turn the POWER ON.

1.Press the MENU button and use the l r buttons to select

Sensitivity.

2.Select AUTO by using the ud buttons.

SETTING LIGHT SENSITIVITY MANUALLY

You can change the sensitivity to manual control. Use this mode when you expect blurring problems from camera motion, when you need to control depth of field and when you want to control FLASH range.

Turn the DIAL SWITCH to PHOTO MODE and then turn the POWER ON.

1.Press the MENU button and use the l r buttons to select

Sensivity.

2.Using the ud buttons, you may select the desired sensitivity from [100] [200] or [400].

Situations for Manual Sensitivity Control

When the image is too dark, but you can't use the flash. Or when the image is blurry, but you can't use the flash.

When you must be moving the camera in order to get a shot. OR when the object is blurry from moving at high speed.

When you are anticipating problems in MACRO mode or any close-up situation.

When you get blurry results in MACRO or any close-up situation.

When you want to record a distant object with the FLASH.

You can extend the range of the FLASH by increasing the sensitivity.

MAKING EXPOSURE SETTINGS

You adjust exposure to help control how much light falls on the CCD. It influences the brightness of the entire image. You usually don't need to make manual adjustments, but it is possible to increase + or decrease - the exposure to suit a particular purpose.

It is recommended that these adjustments be used when shooting against the sun or when you have any very bright background where the automatic sensors may not work well.

ADJUSTMENTS
